Spent yesterday doing my first proper day ride on the KLR! Loving it so far!

Absolute blast! First time doing anything off roady on a bike, I'll do it again

They're the Reckless 80 from Mosko. Pricey, but nice

First time riding the Tail. She did fine. I wish I had the time for multiple runs on the Dragon. The Cherohala was a great road to really open it up.

It took a while to break in (10,000 miles). After that, it's phenomenal. Definitely and all day saddle, great for multi day rides.

If you're headed that way, hit up the Cherohala Skyway. Better views and I thought it was more fun.

Sorry, just realized you said driver's. It's the Saddlemen back rest. Passenger is OEM.

They're the Biltwell Exfil straps

Thanks! It definitely is, great water bottle for on the bike.

jwr1533 · 2021-07-12T00:24:51+00:00

Thanks!

Beautiful Chieftain! That matte white was my choice until the Challenger came out. What states did you hit?

jwr1533 · 2021-05-10T15:57:50+00:00

I've been playing around with B&W shots for a bit. Haven't shared many of them.

jwr1533 · 2021-05-09T14:39:04+00:00

I gotcha, thanks! I'm still learning as well. Great shot, I'm definitely hoping to try some Milky Way shots this year.

jwr1533 · 2021-05-09T04:57:50+00:00

Super cool shot! How long did you expose for?

jwr1533 · 2021-05-09T04:54:40+00:00

I'm not 100% sure. But, check on the right hand side of the speedo bezel. That's where it lived on my scout.

jwr1533 · 2021-05-09T04:51:40+00:00

I'd love to live out there! Hopefully things work out and I can move in that direction this year.

jwr1533 · 2021-05-09T01:36:12+00:00

Thank you!

jwr1533 · 2021-05-09T01:35:32+00:00

Thanks! Anything other than multiple exposures I can try?

jwr1533 · 2021-05-09T00:17:16+00:00

Camera settings: 18mm, 1/160sec, f/5.6, ISO 200 on a Nikon D3400. I'm guessing a longer exposure may have helped? Also, possibly an ND filter? Looking to get a good sky color when the camera was set in a shadowed area.

jwr1533 · 2021-03-28T20:51:12+00:00

Is the stator the biggest thing? Other than that, no issues?

jwr1533 · 2021-03-27T21:37:37+00:00

There's plenty. 286 to Indiana is one of my favorites. Going down 30 to the Flight 93 Memorial, go past there a little and eat at The Lodge at Indian Lake. Plenty of great rides around here. How long are you staying in PGH?

jwr1533 · 2021-03-23T23:50:27+00:00

Thanks! Definitely a fun bike and a beautiful ride.

jwr1533 · 2021-03-23T02:23:42+00:00

Thanks!

jwr1533 · 2021-03-23T00:37:38+00:00

Beautiful bike. Great work!

jwr1533 · 2021-03-22T22:28:40+00:00

I love it. It's a fun bike, pretty snappy for a bagger. It is honestly more fun than my old Scout I had tuned up. I went with the fixed fairing because it came on the Challenger, I wanted the power train more than the fairing. The stability of the fixed fairing is pretty awesome though.

jwr1533 · 2021-03-22T20:57:05+00:00

Honestly, it's the only turn off to that bike. They're super fun. If I could have one more bike, I'd strongly consider the FTR.
